Chapter 170 - 170 (1/2)
”Wait…. You're really Uchiha Madara?” No one could tell how many times Obito had said those words already.
The old man on the stone chair didn't pay attention to his question, as if he could not hear his voice.
Obito was the playful fun loving type. In the Manga, when he impersonated Madara, he was very serious. But whenever he acted like Tobi, he let some glimpses of that nature of his be exposed.
Obito at this point in time did not go yet through all of the experiences that the old him had in the Manga; he wasn't m_a_t_u_r_e enough. Ever since he woke up, he never even stopped speaking.
”Obito, I said you shouldn't disturb Madara sama!” White Zetsu popped out of the ground.
”But I really want to know if he's Uchiha Madara!”
”Of course he's Madara sama!” Zetsu was getting a bit helpless.
”But didn't Uchiha Madara lose to the 1st Hokage in the battle of the Valley of the End, and then die?”
”That's just what the world had seen!” On the stone Chair, Madara, whose eyes were closed for a long time, finally answered Obito's question.
”Madara sama!”
”It doesn't matter. He wants to know; I will tell him what happened.” Madara said faintly. His tone was very dull, and there was no emotion in his voice, as if he was telling the story of someone else.
Much of the Uchiha's history in Konoha was hidden by the clan's elders from their younger generations. Obito was hearing about the Warring States Period for the 1st time.
As Obito was listening to Madara's emotionless storytelling, an image of that period appeared before his eyes.
But fate made them stand on opposite sides, because of their clans.
The two rose in the war, crushing their peers and surpassing the older generation.
After the deaths of Tajima, Madara's father, and Butsuma, Hashirama's father, the two teenagers and their younger brothers became the leaders of their clans.
At the same time, both acquired new powers, being the Mangekyo Sharingan and Wood Release, respectively.
This was the 1st time Obito had ever heard of the Mangekyo. He had always thought that the peak of a Sharingan's evolution is becoming a three tomoe Sharingan.
The battle between the two continues for long years, and the Uchiha were getting gradually overwhelmed. Even Madara's younger brother, Izuna, died at the hands of Tobirama Senju.
Madara skipped the matter of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan directly to mentioning the last battle before Konoha's establishment.
Obito's eyes shined as he was listening to Madara. He could not imagine people so powerful. The scenes described by Madara made his blood boil of excitement.
In the end, the Uchiha clan still got defeated. But it was Hashirama's willingness to exchange his life for peace that finally convinced Madara.
This force was enough to sweep away all obstacles standing in the way of peace. In particular, Hashirama and Madara's power exceeded everyone's imagination. Other than each other, the two could have no rivals, and soon, their names echoed all over the world:
God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju!
Ghost of the Uchiha, Uchiha Madara!
With the power of these two, Konoha was founded in the most prosperous land, the Fire Country.
Everything went beautifully, and the village kept on thriving. For the sake of peace, Hashirama captured the Biju and intended on distributing them to the villages.
